BIKE TO WORK DAY

Bike Week is celebrated across the U.S. during the month of May to showcase the many benefits of bicycling — and encourage more folks to give biking a try.

Our summer starts a little later here in Jackson, so we celebrate cycling and get rolling again a little later.

Jackson Bike Week will be held the first week of June with Bike to Work Day and iWalk, iBike, iBus to School.

Whether you bike to work or school; ride to save money or time; pump those pedals to preserve your health or the environment; or simply to explore your community, National Bike Month is an opportunity to celebrate the unique power of the bicycle and the many reasons we ride.

BIKE TO WORK DAY | Thursday, June 6
Stop by Persephone Bakery, Picnic, Stilson and JHMR General Store for a free cup of coffee (byo mug for free coffee) and free pastries with Jackson Hole Community Pathways and Friends of Pathways.

7 -10 am at Persephone, Picnic, Stilson and JHMR General Store

We’ll also have bells and water bottles to give away to the first folks that arrive. Come celebrate summer cycling season with us!

Ahh the winter that keeps on giving, we are still about a month behind last year in the trails drying out around the valley. With the snow last night and rain in the forecast the upper elevations that were getting dry are pretty slimy and slick. There may be some opportunities to get out during dry spells this weekend but I would recommend staying low and avoiding shady north facing trails. The crew this week cleared Ferrins and Wilson Canyon and they are both dry up to the meadows. Wilson Canyon has more water damage to the trail as the old cow retaining pond at the top has failed and water is running down the canyon for about a mile until it disappears underground. The crew also cleared the lower parts of History, Crater, and Black Canyon on the pass. There is still a lot of snow lingering in the trees there, but Jim Verdone was able to plow Old Pass Road so that is a good dry option. If you see Jim give him a big thank you for all the work he is doing to keep the Old Pass Road in usable shape. Have a fun weekend and hopefully we will get a little sunshine.
